Poll Toplines: The Investigation of Mayor Adams and Potential Special Election
A new Slingshot Strategies survey of registered voters in New York City measured New Yorkers' preferences for potential candidates in the event that there is a special election if Mayor Eric Adams resigns or is removed from office. The poll—conducted from Dec. 1 to Dec. 4 2023 and featured Saturday in the New York Times— shows that most voters rank current and former citywide and statewide elected officials and candidates such as former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams above lesser well-known lawmakers like State Sens. Jessica Ramos and Zellnor Myrie and borough presidents Mark Levine and Antonio Reynoso.
